(w)                               No “Bad Actor” Disqualification.  The Company has exercised reasonable care, in accordance with SEC rules and guidance, and has conducted a factual inquiry, the nature and scope of which reflect reasonable care under the relevant facts and circumstances, to determine whether any Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, after conducting such sufficiently diligent factual inquiries, no Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. “Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act, including the Company; any predecessor or affiliate of the Company; any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering, general partner or managing member of the Company; any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power; any promoter (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of the sale of the Shares; and any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of the Shares (a “Solicitor”), any general partner or managing member of any Solicitor, and any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any Solicitor or general partner or managing member of any Solicitor.

 

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.1 shall not modify, amend or affect the Company’s right to rely on such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3.2                               Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):

 

(a)                                 Organization; Authority.  Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporation or formation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser.  Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will

 

12



 

constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)                                 Understandings or Arrangements.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.  Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Stock, Warrants and Underlying Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).  The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c)                                  Opportunity to Obtain Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that representatives of the Company have made available to such Purchaser the opportunity to review the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to ask questions of and receive answers from such representatives concerning the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such Purchaser further acknowledges the availability of the Company’s SEC Reports, specifically include the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014, and Current Reports on Form 8-K that have been filed by the Company on and since February 12, 2014.

 

(d)                                 Purchaser Status.  At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any shares of Preferred Stock or exercises any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

(e)                                  Experience of Such Purchaser.  Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

13



 

(f)                                   General Solicitation.  Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities or any other securities of the Company published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.  Such Purchaser did not purchase any shares of Common Stock in the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to the final prospectus dated July 9, 2014.  Such Purchaser has a pre-existing relationship with National Securities Corporation, Northland Capital Markets, Scarsdale Equities LLC or the Company.

 

(g)                                  No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice.  Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the Company SEC Documents, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.

 

(h)                                 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.  Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.  Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1                               Reporting Status.  With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Shares and Underlying Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act.  The Company will otherwise take such further action as a Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Purchaser to sell the Securities and Underlying Shares without registration under the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation adopted by the SEC.

 

14



 

4.2                               Quotation.  So long as a Purchaser owns any of the Securities or Underlying Shares, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the quotation of its Common Stock on the OTCQB or OTCQX, each as administered by OTC Markets Group or, in lieu thereof, on a national securities exchange and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the rules of any such market or exchange, as applicable.

 

4.3                               Non-Public Information.  The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  Furthermore, if the Company has disclosed any material non-public information to the Purchaser, the Purchaser has no duty to keep such information confidential following the public announcement of the offering.

 

4.4                               Resale Registration Statement.  The Company shall file, within 45 days after the Closing, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration, qualification and compliance (including without limitation the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of the Underlying Shares no later than 120 days after the Closing (such registration statement, the “Resale Registration Statement”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance:

 

(a)                                 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

 

(b)                                 if the Company shall furnish to the Purchasers a certificate, signed by the Chairman of the Board of the Company, stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for the Resale Registration Statement to be filed at such time, then the Company’s obligation to commence the actions described in this Section 4.1(b) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date of such certificate; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once; or

 

(c)                                  If a Purchaser fails to cooperate in providing the Company with all information reasonably required to be included in the Resale Registration Statement or otherwise required to be obtained by the Company for purposes of preparing and filing the Resale Registration Statement and any amendments thereto; provided, however, that such failure shall not affect the Company’s obligations with respect to any Underlying Shares of any other Purchasers.

 

Once declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall use best efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement registering the resale of the Underlying Shares effective during the period beginning on its effective date until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Underlying Shares shall have been sold or (ii) no Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock remain

 

15



 

unsold and at least two years have passed since the Closing (such earlier time, the “Registration Expiration”).

 

4.5                               Cut-Back.  If, for any reason, the Commission (including an independent determination by the Company, in consultation with Company Counsel, based on existing written guidance or applicable rules of the Commission) or an underwriter participating in an underwritten primary offering conducted pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement requires that the number of Underlying Shares to be registered for resale pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement be reduced, then such reduction (the “Cut Back”) shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers whose shares have been included in the Resale Registration Statement and any other holders of Common Stock that have exercised their right to require the Company to register for resale such Common Stock on the Resale Registration Statement, until the reduction so required shall have been effected.  At the discretion of the Company, the Cut Back may be effected first among one particular type of Underlying Shares (e.g., Warrant Shares first, and then Conversion Shares).

 

4.6                               Registration Deadlines.  If:  (i) the Resale Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to its 45th day after the Closing (or the next succeeding Business Day if the 45th day is not a Business Day), or (ii) the Resale Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by on or prior to the 120th day after the Closing (or the next succeeding Business Day if the 45th day is not a Business Day), or (iii) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Underlying Shares included in such Registration Statement, or the Purchasers are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such Underlying Shares for more than 20 consecutive Trading Days or more than an aggregate of 30 Trading Days (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such 20-Trading Day period or 30-Trading Day period, as applicable, is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”); then, in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date the Company shall issue to each Purchaser a number of shares of Common Stock, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the value of which is equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Purchaser under this Agreement, and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until such time as the applicable Event shall have been cured, the Company shall issue to each Purchaser a number of shares of Common Stock, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the value of which is equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Purchaser under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable by the Company under this Agreement shall be 6.0% of the aggregate Subscription Amounts paid by the Purchasers under this Agreement.  The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.  Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section shall be valued in the same manner as prescribed for the valuation of Common Stock issued in satisfaction of dividend-payment obligations on the Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

 

4.7                               Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 4.1 or 4.2, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses

 

16



 

(including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.”  The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Resale Registration Statement.

 

4.8                               Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder primarily for working capital purposes and to fund the general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to fund certain contractual obligations relating to acquisitions and to repay certain outstanding Indebtedness (to the extent such Indebtedness shall not have earlier converted into common stock).

 

4.9                               Indemnification of Purchasers.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel in the aggregate (i.e., for all Purchaser Parties).  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

 

17



 

4.10                        Reservation of Securities; Reporting Status.  The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to issue all of the Underlying Shares.  In addition, from and after the date hereof and for so long as any Preferred Stock remains issued and outstanding, the Company will continue to file SEC Reports with the Commission and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its listing or quotation on a Trading Market.

 

4.11                        Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced by the Company.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.

 

4.12                        Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)                                 The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement or Rule 144, or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such Purchaser), the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Agreement, of a legend on any of the Preferred Stock, Warrants and Underlying Shares in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH

 

18



 

EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

 

(c)                                  Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in paragraph (b) above):  (i) while a registration statement (including the Resale Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act.  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any shares of Preferred Stock are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when the Resale Registration Statement is effective to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act, then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends.

 

(d)                                 Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including, if the sale is being effected pursuant to a registration statement (including the Resale Registration Statement), the plan of distribution contained within such registration statement and any applicable prospectus-delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

 

ARTICLE V.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

5.1                               Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before 30 days of the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties).

 

5.2                               Fees and Expenses.  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.6                               Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7                               Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.  Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8                               Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except for the Purchasers.

 

5.9                               Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to the conflicts-of-law principles thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  Each party hereby

 

20



 

irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

5.10                        Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for a one-year period after the Closing Date.

 

5.11                        Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.  If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12                        Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.  It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13                        Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

4



 

3.             Dividends.

 

(a)           Dividends in Cash or in Kind.  Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, subject to the provisions of the DGCL and legally available funds therefor, dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 8.0% per annum.  Such dividends shall be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on the first such date after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Series B Preferred Stock being converted) (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date,” provided that if the Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the Dividend Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day thereafter), at the option of the Company, (1) in cash out of legally available funds or (2) in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, or (3) a combination of cash and Common Stock.  In the case of payment by the Company of dividends in the form of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock shall be valued solely for such purpose at the average of the VWAPs for the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date or Conversion Date.  Dividends paid in cash or through the issuance of Common Stock shall be paid to Holders no later than five Business Days after a Dividend Payment Date.

 

(b)           Dividend Calculations.  Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed during a 365-day year, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends.  Payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) and, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date.  Dividends shall cease to accrue with respect to any Series B Preferred Stock converted, provided that the Company actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 6(d)(i).  Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.

 

(c)           Other Securities.  So long as any Series B Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Company at such times when the Company is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Series B Preferred Stock remain unpaid.

 

4.             Voting Rights.  Each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant hereto as of the applicable record date for the vote of stockholders.  Each holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholder meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Company and shall vote with holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, voting

 

5



 

together as single class, upon all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, excluding only those matters required to be submitted to a class or series vote pursuant to the terms hereof or the terms of the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock, or by law.  The Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes in any election of directors in which they are entitled to vote.

 

5.             Liquidation.  For purposes of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall be pari passu.  Upon any Liquidation, the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and shall not participate with the holders of Common Stock or other Junior Securities thereafter.  If the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.  The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

 

6.             Conversion.

 

(a)           Conversions at Option of Holder.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock and accrued but unpaid dividends thereon shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock (plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, if being converted) by the Conversion Price.  Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”).  Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted (and whether any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon are being converted), the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue, and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Company (such date, the “Conversion Date”).  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, then the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Company is deemed given hereunder.  To effect conversions of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company unless all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.  Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

 

6



 

(b)           Mandatory Conversion.

 

(i)            At the option of the Company, after all of the Company Conversion Conditions shall have been satisfied, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time, into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price.  At the option of the Company, conversion under this Section 6(b)(i) may include the conversion of accrued but unpaid dividends.  The Company shall exercise its right to mandatorily convert the Series B Preferred Stock under this Section by providing the Holders with written notice at least 48 hours prior to the effective date of conversion; or

 

(ii)           Upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of at least 75% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price.  At the option of the Holders, conversion under this Section 6(b)(ii) may include the conversion of accrued but unpaid dividends.

 

(c)           Conversion Price.  The conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall equal $1.15, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Price”).

 

(d)           Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)            Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion.  Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder one or more certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares.  On or after the earlier of the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance the Series B Preferred Stock being converted, such certificates shall not contain a restrictive legend under the Securities Act so long as (i) the Holder shall have delivered a representation letter to the Company in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (which letter includes a representation by the Holder that the Conversion Shares are being sold pursuant to Rule 144) or (ii) a Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of such Conversion Shares is then effective.  On or after the 12-month anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock being converted, the Company shall, upon the request of the Holder, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any Conversion Shares to be delivered by the Company under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

(ii)           Failure to Deliver Certificates.  If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series B Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Company, if any, and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

7



 

(iii)          Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Series B Preferred Stock), that number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock without regard to the limitations on conversion contained in Section 6(e) below.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(iv)          Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(v)           Transfer Taxes and Expenses.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.  The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

(e)           Beneficial Ownership Limitations.  The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining unconverted Stated Value of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including without limitation the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  To ensure

 

8



 

compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series B Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock by the applicable Holder.  Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section applicable to its Series B Preferred Stock, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

7.             Certain Adjustments and Covenants; Notices Required.

 

(a)           Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.  If the Company, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Junior Securities (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Series B Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which fraction shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for

 

9



 

the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

(b)           Fundamental Transaction.  Subject to the ultimate sentence in this paragraph, if, at any time while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and such offer been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than a reclassification under Section 7(a) above), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including without limitation a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (collectively, the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction.  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction.

 

(c)           Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date

 

10



 

shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

(d)           Required Notices to Holders.

 

(i)            Adjustment to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii)           Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder.  If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special non-recurring cash dividend on the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the Liquidation of the Company or a Fundamental Transaction, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

 

8.             Negative Covenants.  So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not take any of the following corporate actions (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), without first obtaining the approval (whether at a meeting called for such purpose or through written action or consent) of the Holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock: (i) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (ii) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of any then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company in any manner that materially and adversely affects the Series B Preferred Stock; or (iii) authorize or create any class of capital stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series B Preferred Stock.

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  BY ACQUIRING THIS WARRANT, HOLDER REPRESENTS THAT HOLDER WILL NOT SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS WARRANT OR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH IT MAY BE EXERCISED WITHOUT REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE AFORESAID ACTS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Number of Shares of Common Stock:                       

Date of Issuance:  February 3, 2015 (“Issuance Date”)

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [Name] (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to                    shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at the Exercise Price then in effect.  This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”) is issued by the Company as of the date hereof pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement executed on February 3, 2015, by and among the Company, Holder and other parties thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 13 below.  For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean $1.15 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein, and the term “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. New York time on the five-year anniversary thereof.

 

1.                                      EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a)                                 Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant.  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the third Trading Day (the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of (i) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) notification from the Holder that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as defined below, the Company shall (or direct its

 



 

transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(c) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

(b)                                 No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto.  All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

(c)                                  Cashless Exercise.   The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number =

(A x B) - (A x C)

 

 

B

 

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A =                 the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B =                 the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.

 

C =                 the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

(d)                                 Holder’s Exercise Limitations.  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of

 

2



 

Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

 

2.                                      ADJUSTMENTS.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

3



 

(a)                                 Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(b)                                 Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i)                                     any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii)                                  the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“Other Shares of Common Stock”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

4



 

3.                                      FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “Successor Entity”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 2(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

 

4.                                      NON-CIRCUMVENTION.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

5.                                      WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant

 

5



 

shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

6.                                      REISSUANCE.

 

(a)                                 Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

 

(b)                                 Issuance of New Warrants.  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.
